Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry Recipe
Shrimp are a great dieting food as they’re low in calories and fat. Containing lots omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and astaxanthin, they’re also good for your hair and skin (aiding in the reproduction of new cells). You know me when it comes to beauty foods; if it’s gonna make me look younger, I’m putting an asterisk next to it and add it to my list of  ‘cook more often’!
For years shrimp go a bad reputation for being high in cholesterol, but many recent researches are proving otherwise. They’re nowhere near as bad as saturated fats because they don’t raise the blood cholesterol as significantly, making this ginger shrimp stir fry safe to eat and very satisfying!
